The trademarks mentioned are trademarks or brand names of the relevant owners and/or software partners.

All the goodies on offer should on POSIX-BC version V03.1A23 and higher.

Note:

Documentation is included for most goodies in the form of "man pages". You will need the “awf” goody (found under “General Tools”) to be able to use this on a POSIX system.

Some of the tools use the Curses interface to control the terminal (examples: Jove, Lynx, tcsh). These tools can only be used within a 9750 terminal emulation or in the Telnet window with significant restrictions. Use a SINIX-TE with rlogin connection or the secure shell (For Windows-based systems, the putty client with rlogin and ssh interface can be downloaded free of charge) in order to establish the connection to the POSIX subsystem directly (provided that the BS2000 ID has set a POSIX-RLOGIN-DEFAULT attribute).

These goody packages are all installed under /opt/SMAWPlus/ in the POSIX file system.

It is best to use the POSIX INSTALLer to create /opt as a separate file system with at least 100 MB. The SMAWPbase package must be installed first; it creates the directory structure under which the remaining packages are installed.
